@Justin Giroux MLS and Auctions are not where the deals are. 

@Amina Sanders - Talk to @Justin Eaton

As a side note out if an abundance of caution we try when possible to identify a back up using a dst just in case it all goes wrong.

@Justin Fox for the win.

I do most of my own work, so If I buy a house that needs new paint and roof, I'd be paying less than half of the repair cost just in material... and keep what I would pay a contractor... or pay a seller because they just paid a contractor.  

If you want a specific CoC return @Justin Fox gave you an easy way to set a CF goal.If it were me, I'd figure out my goal and throw the relevant data (rate, appraised value, LTV, Op Data ect) into excel and have a data table show me what my CF looked like under different circumstances (ie. varying combinations of LTV and desired return) Then, assuming I had its modeled out, I'd do the same for IRR.

This really doesn't seem that crazy...There is quite a bit of work here:Existing slate roof demolition - this is going to be very labor intensive to remove & hauloff (~$1 to $3k just in demo)Installing the new architectural roof is probably around $8 to 10K ($300 to $350/sq)The Flat Roof is probably another $2 to $4kPlus stucco on the chimney?

I’m pretty sure we’re going to sell and reinvest but I am going to look into the company you mentioned also.... just in case. 

If I were you I would charge late fees and initiate the eviction process, just in case they are trying to string you along.
